Competition & Tournaments

Competition is not just about beating an opponent; it is about allowing participants to display and improve their skills in a safe environment. With ATA, tournaments are one of the most dynamic and fun aspects of Songahm Taekwondo.

For over 45 years, ATA has offered a fun and control tournament environment. ATA hosted tournaments are exclusive to ATA members and are organized for maximum participation. These tournaments provide participants with the chance to compete against competitors of their own age and rank ensure a fair and equal competition. Most importantly, competing in a tournament is about much more than just a trophy. It provides students with an opportunity to make new friends, learn to overcome nerves, and enhance their skills and technique. Whether or not they win, participating in organized competition is a key component to learning and growing in martial arts.

ATA headquarters hosts an International World Championship in the summer, and National tournaments in the Spring and Fall. 
In addition to these annual tournaments, there are many local tournaments throughout the competition year.
